OBJECTIVE: Obesity is widely accepted to be influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Several recent studies have used the positional cloning approach in an attempt to discover genes contributing to obesity. In the IRAS Family Study a genomewide scan was performed on 1425 individuals of Hispanic descent (90 extended pedigree families) to identify regions of the genome linked to obesity phenotypes....
